County History

Clarke
County was established December 23, 1833 and was created from the
Choctaw Cession of 1830. It was named in honor of Judge Joshua G.
Clarke, the first Chancellor of the State. Its southern line which
divides it from Wayne County marks the old Choctaw boundary. The county
seat is Quitman, located at the center of the county on the line of the
Mobile & Ohio railway. Other towns include Enterprise, Pachuta, Shubuta
and Stonewall. The Chickasawhay River flows through the center of the
county southward and joins the Pascagoula River in Greene County. As of
2000, the county's population is 17,955, and it is part of the Meridian,
Mississippi Micropolitan Statistical Area. Clarke County is bordered by
Lauderdale County (north),
Choctaw County, Alabama (east),
Wayne County (south) and
Jasper County (west).
